  • It seems to be correct the syntax. Maybe you have and alias. What is the output of type -a sshfs? – Edgar Magallon Dec 24 '22 at 19:25
  • $ type -a sshfs sshfs is an alias for sshfs -p 8022 u0_a402@192.168.43.1:/ ~/sshfs-mount -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/termux-rsa – andrew_ysk Dec 25 '22 at 10:35
  • That seems to be the problem, you should disable the alias, or what should work: just type sshfs without any arguments – Edgar Magallon Dec 25 '22 at 10:43
  • Thanks.. That is really the problem. After renamed the alias sshfs to sshfs1; everything works flawlessly. – andrew_ysk Dec 25 '22 at 10:48

  • I didn't solve the problem by myself, it is Edgar Magallon who found the solution for me.. So i can't take credit for it. – andrew_ysk Dec 25 '22 at 14:51
  • @andrew_ysk I will post as an answer so you can mark as accepted :). – Edgar Magallon Dec 25 '22 at 19:07

Your command did not work because sshfs had an alias for sshfs -p 8022 u0_a402@192.168.43.1:/ ~/sshfs-mount -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/termux-rsa thus when you try to run your command this fails.

You can solve the problem by using:

  1. Unalias your command in your shell file (e.g. if it's bash then it'd be ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases perhaps)
  2. Simply run the command sshfs without arguments. But given that the alias use u0_a402@192.168.43.1:/ and you use u0_a402@192.168.43.189:/storage then this should not be useful.
  3. Prefix a \ to your command to avoid your shell uses the alias:
\sshfs -p 8022 u0_a402@192.168.43.189:/storage ~/sshfs-mount2 -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/termux-rsa
